I guess this is because the "apt-install console-setup" is in
kbd-chooser's post-base-installer, at a moment where APT sources are
not available (or configured).
Maybe we could move the installation of console-setup to a
finish-install script as there is nothing to do but install
console-setup.
However, I'm unsure whether an "apt-install" of a package that's not
on the netinst CD would work at the finish-install step.
BTW; it seems that kbd-config post-base-installer script needs some
cleaning:
!/bin/sh
. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
# Silently exit if we're using a serial console
db_get debian-installer/serial-console
if [ "$RET" != false ]; then
exit 0
fi
apt-install console-setup || true
exit 0 # console-setup will handle the rest of it
.../... some other stuff that's never executed.
